I always thought that each and every person on this Planet wants to be rich. But I was shocked to know that it is not true. There are also people who doesn't want to be rich or who doesn't believe that this is possible. The other thing is, that a lot of people don't even know what they need a lot of money for. It is common that people say: to buy a house, travel and buy nice things, that's about it. So, what about you? Do you really want to be rich? Or it will be enough if you will have just extra $2000 every month?

You are so funny. No, I don't want to be rich...I think that's being greedy. An extra $2000 every month? You say that like I already make $2000...lol. I make just over $800 a month and I could use an extra $50 a week but otherwise I'm fine. I'm rich in other ways. I have my home in a quiet country town, my pets, my health and an appreciation of everything I have to be thankful for..

hay soleya, i don't want to be rich. i am happy in this stage, now i am neither poor enough nor too much rich. i born in a very poor family and now i am in a middle class. i have no hope beyond it. just live as your choice. some times too much ambition is dangerous. take care.

I really do not care to be rich. I just want enough money to be able to live comfortably without worrying about finances all of the time.

hi soleya,being rich is not only about money.there are people who wants to be rich in every aspects of life.but if you mean being rich about having lots of money,well i think there are millions out there who wants to be.having lots of money means we can buy anything that we want.but one thing is for sure,the more money that we have,the more problems we encounter..:)

Human beings always have needs to be fulfilled, mostly this can be done with the power of money. So do not believe in people sound unwilling to be rich, everyone needs money.. And yes, i want to be rich so i wouldn't spend half of my day at work :/

Me? I want to become rich. You can do a lot of things when you have lots of money. From fulfilling your earthly needs and making things so you can be happy. Plus if you have money you can help, if you want to other people. You can help them in their financial needs and share them your secret so you also can help them have lots of money.

hi there :) actually people have their own perception and goals in life, i myself wanted not to be rich but to have progress in my way of living. it's like you have achievements in life- you have priorities to make in order to attain little by little your goals. being rich is not that easy you have to strive hard and work hard for it, i guess people that don't believe on it don't set goals in their life-it's like come what may. but for those who have positive perceptions and want their lives to improve life style there are ways, right? so that when i get old i will trace back and be blessed that i make changes and i didn't stay for being poor or nothing LOL ;) happy myLotting! Godabless!0=)

i dont want to be rich. i just have enough for my good life, but what i want is my self-satisfaction, my hubby is earning enough for the family, but what i want is though i am not able to go out of my home for work, i want to earn from my work of my own, its not that i am having any restrictions from my hubby to use it, but it feels many time that i should do someething, so i am trying to earn through forex, though its by using his money, but i want to earn profit and at the same time have satisfaction that i have learnt such a tough business.

I'm not true to my self if i said no i don't like to be rich! of course i do, but i guess if we don't have financial problem like what we have experience sometimes, I can't be as hardworking as i am today, I can't be the one I am today. Have a wonderful time to everyone...

I do not neccessarily want to be rich, I just want to be well off enough to take care of my bills and food without struggling. An extra $3000.00 per month would be great to keep my on solid grounds. Being rich is good for some people, but I do not believe in having way more than you need to survive. Rich people have three and four cars, you can only drive one at a time, that is not for me.

Do you really want to be rich? Lols, this may sound really strange and to some down right rediculous but I am serious, I really and truly do want to be rich. I've gotten over the first hurdle aready b/c being rich isn't just having money, I am already rich in spirit and I'm rich as far as my life has been richly blessed. Now I'm just waiting on the other part to manifest. I would love to be so rich that I could go out to the store and pick out the things that I wanted then I would not have to worry about looking at the price tag. I could just say, put it on my charge card or bill me. Yes, it would be nice, I really do want to be rich even though I know that my problems would be more.

I definitely do not believe that money is everything. I can't say that I wouldn't like it if I were rich, but I can say that to be rich and yet not have those people around you that you love otherwise would not be worth it at all. I have 2 children and a really big family otherwise(siblings, neices and nephews, parents, cousins and so on..), and so if I could find a way to be rich and keep all of them in my every day life then I would most definitely enjoy it greatly. I think if I were to be wealthy(or rich) I would make sure my mother's house, sister's house and so on were paid off and anything that needed to be fixed was fixed. I would most definitely put a good amount of money away for my beautiful sons and my neices and nephews, and then after all was said and done and I'd helped out family and friends that I could, I think I'd help out some of the local and not so local homeless shelters. My brother's friend had stayed in one and when she did, I saw for the first time how small our local homeless shelter is and yet how many people really need that place to stay(even before our economy started going this far downhill). Since then, I've heard and seen a lot about homeless shelters being too small. So yes, I'd say that I would love to be rich, and be able to help myself too, and as many other people as I possibly could. However, there is the question of those that are rich... is it truley fulfilling? Would you run out of ideas of what to use it on or feel that you weren't doing enough to help others no matter how much you did? There are some definite downfalls I could foresee there being as well.

Most people would like to be rich. Being rich is not evil. What's evil is to use that money to gain power over people. Money gives meaning to your life. If it was not for the fact that you want to earn money - You would not go to school to get an education - You would not go to work Lotteries and gambling would not exist. Banks would not exist. The downside of not wanting money is that everything stop and we all die. If the farmers refuse to work for money... We would be out of food within a couple of weeks. Everything you use... including the roof over your head... Someone has to work in order to produce it. And if the money is no motivation... no work will be done. The bad thing about money is that it is use by capitalists for the sole purpose of making more money. They don't produce anything or make anything... except money.

I just want to be comfortable enough to be able to give a decent amount to charity and pay my bills. It'd be nice to be rich because then I could start a couple of self-supporting foundations to help people with getting their education and help children that are in abusive homes. So I guess I'd like to be rich but only because it would help me make a difference in the lives of others.

Yes. I want to be very rich in my life. Why do you ask this question? Who don't want to be rich in life? Every person on this earth want to become a good and rich, reputed, famous person. You can achieve this by simply becoming a celebrity or a star in your country.

Who does not want to be rich? Everybody does! Aside from buying material things, helping other people, go for travel, pay debts, buy stuffs.All these things are reasons why we want to be rich. $2000 a month will be enough for me. It will already make me rich by saving some portion of it. Spending only enough for me needs, cut out what my wants are and schedule the travel or something that I may want to do with that money. And of course I will still continue to work or continue what my heart wants to do and does not stuck and praise the money that I have. I wanted to be rich and happy at the same time.
